What exactly does it mean to think positively? And can you achieve your goals just by positive thinking?
Your ideas indeed influence your behaviors. Your behavior determines your success in your relationships, work, and overall quality of life. Your values and beliefs, which affect the caliber of your interpersonal interactions and how you perceive the world in general, are also influenced by your ideas.
1. WHAT POSITIVE THINKING IS THIS?
An emotional and mental state known as positive thinking centers on the positive and anticipates outcomes to your advantage. It’s about expecting success, pleasure, and good health rather than preparing for the worst. This way of thinking uses the law of attraction to create a positive feedback loop that expands the wonderful things in your life.
So what exactly is optimistic thinking not? It won’t instantly make you happier and more content; it is not a panacea. It does not remedy ingrained limiting ideas like fear of failure and achievement. Additionally, it does not entail lying to yourself all day long that you are happy. More than just a positive outlook is required if you want to realize your ambitions. You must take action.

The promotion you fought so hard for wasn’t given to you. You’ve been fired from your position. You and your partner split up. You are limited by ongoing medical conditions. Many of us will experience each of these challenging circumstances at some point in our lives. What really matters is how you will respond to them.
2. PUT YOUR STATE UNDER YOUR CONTROL.
Have you ever noticed how your body language changes when you’re having a terrible day? When you’re uncomfortable, you lean forward in your chair, have trouble looking people in the eye, and do things like cross your arms. You let your surroundings and circumstances rule you and cease practicing mindfulness. This is a weak position to take. Your body communicates to others around you that you are uncomfortable, angry, depressed, and desire privacy. This results in a feedback loop since your bad attitude and posture are reinforcing one other.
3. CHANGE YOUR MENTALITY
A vital component of the solution is to identify the other negative trigger and stop it in its tracks and adjust your physiology. Your mentality determines what ideas go through your head, how you feel about them, and how you respond to them. A poor mentality will make everything around you appear much worse.
